Structuring of data to build context and meaning(e.g., Breaking down context-less documents into structured information that can be associated)
Synthesized empirical information mixed with experience and expert insight.(e.g., Applying your experiences and methods to the architecture descriptions and capabilities)
Judicious application of knowledge through deep understanding and realization of the environment.(e.g., What do you peers do, analysts, proven practices)

I can make a decision with
30% of the information.
Anything more than 80% is too much. - Colin Powell
